glimmer is correct, we went though this in 2000 but most everyone ignored it anyway and everyone decided to celebrate the new millenium on January 1, 2000. Which was not correct. Oh well sometimes arguing with people who have already made up their mind on a subject is pointless anyway. (I find that happens often on this site)
Question to everyone. When you begin counting to 100 what number do you start with?

I was always taught from kindergarden on though my formal education (BS KSU) that it is..... 1,2,3,4.......100. Not 0,1,2,3....100. So, therefore 1 is the first number of the decade, century or millenia. Thus nu has one more year before they are skunked for the first decade of the new millenia

BTW glimmer I was also born in 1960.
